                            C   
Got to have some faith in the sound   
         C   
It's the one good thing that I've got

 G                        F   
Heaven knows I was just a young boy   
                             C   
Didn't know what I wanted to be   
    G                                F   
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy   
                             C   
And I guess it was enough for me   
   G   
To win the race? A prettier face!   
 F   
Brand new clothes and a big fat place   
        C   
On your rock and roll TV   
      G                                      F   
But today the way I play the game is not the same No way   
                       C   
Think I'm gonna get me some happy   

Pre-Chorus 
Cm                                    Cm(7M)   
I think there's something you should know   
                              Cm7   
I think it's time I told you so   
                                  Cm6   
There's something deep inside of me   
                                  Cm   
There's someone else I've got to be   
                              Cm(7M)   
Take back your picture in a frame   
                               Cm7   
Take back your singing in the rain   

I just hope you understand   
 G   
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man   


 C               Bb   
All we have to do now   
    F                   C   
Is take these lies and make them true somehow   
C                Bb   
All we have to see   
           F   
Is that I don't belong to you   
         C   
And you don't belong to me   
  C       Bb      F   
Freedom Freedom Freedom   
              C   
You've gotta give for what you take

 G                             F   
Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy   
                              C   
What a kick just a buddy and me   
 G                                             F  
We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy   
                       C  
We were living in a fantasy   
G  
We won the race Got out of the place   
F  
I went back home got a brand new face   
 C  
For the boys on MTV   
G                                               F  
But today the way I play the game has got to change Oh yeah   
                     C  
Now I'm gonna get myself happy
